An update on sales tax/VAT/GST (Patreon)

(Sorry if you see this exact post on other patreons, I'm using the template suggested by Patreon since they can explain this much better and more concise than I can)

Hi everyone,

I wanted to give you a heads up about a small change to required tax on pledges. Patreon already adds sales tax/VAT/GST to pledges from patrons in most US states and several other countries—anywhere that’s required by law. They’re now required to start adding tax in a few new places: Canada (other than Quebec where Patreon already charges QST), Thailand, Florida, and Kansas.  If you live in one of those places, you should see a small amount of tax added to your pledge starting July 15th for per post, and August 1st for monthly.

If you have questions, you should be able to find answers here. If you still have questions, the best place to get an answer is from Patreon’s customer support team, here.

Here's a table of the areas affected (If you live here then you should have already received an email, if you don't live here then you don't need to worry about this post;

Stay safe!

Seb :)
